formed with a number of steps, jogs or graduations, marked in the drawings, respectively with the decimal point, 1 for units; fortens; 100 for hundredsjand so on. Such marking may, however, be omitted in thepreferred form of the invention.

That part of arm 81 which is graduated- -or stepped as described, is curvedvertically as shown in Fig. 1 to an arc concentric with the arc in which the stop or stops 80 move when swung forward and backward by the frame 60. 69 as that when the carriage is at the ex} The scale 70 is so placed on bar treme right of its movement, and upon the rocking frame being swung forward, the decimal point step of arm 81 will just be cleared by a stop 80 arran ed at the O. of the scale 70, that is, with t e catch 77 going into the kerf of rack 71 opposite the unmarked 1 of scale 70.

Normally, the stop or stops 80 on bar 69 are just far enough back to allow the extreme end of arm 81 to pass by freely during the to and fro movements of the carriage and platen. By depressing lever 65, the stop 80 may be moved forward into the path of any one of said steps (assumed to be at the right of the stop at the time) and by releasing the carriage by'means of lever 46, the carriage may run forward freely under the influence. -of its driving spring until the selected step strikes stop 80, whereupon bar 69 is moved by the carriage a short distance toward the left until it and the carriage are arrested'by the contact of bar 69 with the left-hand bar" 56, the spring 68 being preferably too weak to counteract the carriage-spring or the mo- 'mentum of the moving parts, although if desired it may be made much stronger than the carriage spring. Levers 46 and 65 may now be released, carriage rack iZOrengaged with remaining the pinion 23, and the stop and the rocking-frame movedrearwardly by springs '58 I gaged from the rack or escapement-wheel 727 by a forward motion made independently-of the rocker or carrier 32. The dog 29 is provided with a shoulder, as pin 85, on its working-face below the teeth of'wheel 27, and a dog-releasing bent-lever 86 is pivotally connected to or fulcrumed on the top-plate 4 soas to engage with pin 85' at the rear side thereof. As shown, the lever 86 is pivoted on a screw 87 whichengages a threaded loosely coiled about the block 101 belowlthe-180 hole in a plate 88 secured to plate 4 by the. screw 39 aforesaid and by a foot of the escapement wheel bracket 25, against which the inwardly curved or notched edge of the plate 88 bears as shown in Fig. 2 the screw 26 passes through said foot, as shown in Fig. 2. One arm of lever 86 is bent or curved downward thfough the usual opening for the dogs in topabove descri ed, while the other arm of the lever'extends rearwardly beyond top-plate 4, terminating just over the top tie-bar 57 in The lever the normal positioh of the latter. 86 may be loosely pivoted at 87, so as to be capable of a slight up and down motion in order to allow of the forward and back mo tion of said upper -tie-bar without undue friction in case lever 86 should bear thereon.

The lower tiebar 57 is formed with or has fixed thereto an upright arm 89 and to the late 4 and engages pin 85 as upper end of this upright 89 is pivotally connected a lever 90 by a screw 91 passing therethrough and engaging with a threaded hole in the upright 89, the lever 99vibrating in a plane parallel to the rocking frame 60. The upper end of the lever 90 is elongated'slot 92 through which the end of the lever 86 passes freely.

provided with an The upright 89 l is shown as being adjustably secured to the said rail orv bar 57 by screws 93 which pass through slots 94 in horizontal arms at the foot of the upright and; engage threaded holesin the said bar 57-. To the left-hand end bar 56 and ate short distance below the upper-'tie-bar 57 is pivoted a lever 95 by a screw 96, also vibrating in a plane paralle to the plane of the frame 60'. The lower end of the lever 95 is perforated and loosely re ceive's the rear end of a lever 97 which is pivotally connected with the arm 65 in a manner shortly to be described. A link 98 is pivotally connected to the lower end ofthe lever 90, as by a screw 99 passing through the link and engaging a threaded hole in the lever, and also to the lever 95 a short distance above its lower end, as by a screw 100 pass ing through the link and engaging a threaded hole in the lever 95. The lever 97 above referred to passes through and is capableof endwise adjustment in a block 101 which is pivotally connected with the arm 65 by a' vertically disposed axis which is at right angles to the arm 65, thus permitting the block-101 and lever 97 to swing freely about said axis and so to move in a plane parallel to arm 65. The lever 97 is clamped in the block 101 by a set screw 102 which (passes bears;

through the upper part of the block an against the lever. The block 101 is held in place upon the lever or arm 65 by a washer '103 and a screw 104 the latter of which s freely through a hole in the arm and pass engages a threaded hole in the block 101 and forms the axis of the block. A spring-105-is lever 97 and has one end bearing against the lever 97 at the right-hand side thereof and the other end entering a'hole'in thel'ever 65 and is tensioned to throw the forward end of lever 97 toward the left. The lever 97 is provided with a hand piece 106 at its forward end, at the left and in front of the lefthand forward column 2; and just in rearof this hand piece the lever is flattened or squared at 107 for a purpose presently toappear.

slot 109 through which a screw 110 asses mto engagement with a threaded hole in the left-hand front standard 2 and with a vertiQ slot 112 is formed or out with eight notches,

113,114,115,116,117,118,119 and 120, re-

spectively, at about equal distances apart, the.

said notches being of a vertical width sufficient to permit of the easy entrance and withdrawal of the square portion 107 of the lever 97 and the upper edges of .the slots are rounded or curved as shown to facilitate such entrance.

v the steps of arm 81, bar 69, stops 80 thereon,

the frame 60, its lever -65, the lever 97 and the notches of plate 108 are such that verti-.

cal motion of the part 107 of lever 97 '(equal to the distancefrom center to center of the notches of the plate-108) causes'a motion of the stop 80 equal to the distance from center to center of the steps of the arm 81, so that by moving the lever 97 downward and into the notch 114 the stop 80 is brought into the path of the decimal point step of the arm 81, and by moving the lever 97 downward and into the notch 1 15, the stop 80 is brought forward into the path of the unit step of arm 81, and so on, through all the remaining notches of index plate 108 and steps of arm 81.

It is not necessary to move the part 107 into the notches in order to bring the'stop forward, as above described, but the said motion into the said notches of thelever 97 is utilized to release the carriage through the medium of the levers 97,95, 90, 86, link 98, pin 85 and dog 29, the parts being so proportioned that-the motion of the lever 97 to the bottom of any notch of the notches 113 to 120 inclusive, is sufficient to cause the lever 86 and pin 85 to move the dog 29 forwardly out of engagement with the escapement wheel 27, and so release the carriage from the control of its escapement, as indicated in Fig. 8 in dotted lines. whereupon the carriage will As a guide for the lever 97 there is provided an index plate 108 having a vertical The proportions and relations of run forward freely under the tension of its drivmg spring until arm 81 and the carriage are arrested by stop 80 in the manner hereinbefore described.

The operation of theforegoing devices is as follows :A'ssun1ing that it is desired to make out a tabular statement in which items and mark of the platen scale, one of the column locating stops 80 is adjusted along the column stop rack 71 upon the bar 69 in the manner hereinbefore described to bring it to -the 27-markon the scale 70 on the said bar (it-s catch 77 being in the kerf of rack 71 opposite the 28 of scale 70) or in the position marked A in Fig. 3; and further assuming, that it is desired to have the decimal point or the division between units and tenths at 60 ofthe scale, then another of the stops 'is adjusted, in the manner hereinbefore described, to-bring it to the point marked 60 on the scale or to the position marked B. in Fig. 3, and the said stop is there secured by snapping its catch 77 into the kerf opposite 61 of scale 70. The carriage is moved to the right and the work is begun, let us sav,

atthe zero of the scale, and that the date iswritten first (day and month). The carriage will rest at some distance to the right ofthe stop at A when the date and number have been written. In order to quickly run the carriage down to the left to stop at A, the lever 97 is moved downward and into the notch 114, as above described, and during its downward motion the stop 80 at A is brought into the patlrof the decimal point step of the arm 81, and thereafter, when the lever 97 is pushed into the notch 114, the dog 29isdisengaged from the ratchet wheel 27 in the manner hereinbefore described, where- .upon the carriage is run forward or to the left by its spring until the decimal point step on the arm 81 strikes the stop 80 at A and moves the bar 69 toward the left until it strikes the upright on the frame 60, when the bar and carriage are arrested. The-lever 97 upon being released by the operator, is moved toward the left-out of the notch 114 by the tension of spring 105, durin which motion the levers 95, and 86 and the parts connecting them togetherand with the dog 29 are moved reversely and the spring 33 returns the dog 29 into engagement with the ratchet wheel 27. The rocking frame 60 with its appurtenances is also swung back to normal position by springs 58, withdrawing stop 80 from the path of lug 81.

In practice, we find it advantageous to so proportion the parts as that when the dog 29 is released as aforesaid, it will strike against saaaea the front side of a rack tooth and as soon as ticn for the decimal point. if the-amount the carriage begins to move, will, under the to be written contains three integers before action of spri-ng 33, snap into the space he the decimal point, the lever 97 is move tween the tooth with which it so engages or downward and into the notch 117, thus propstrikes and the following tooth; that'is, that erly positioning the stop at B and releas 7e thereshall be a slight forward motion of the ing the carriage and]. allowing it to run forcarriage equal to about half a letter space, ward until thehundreds step on the arm 81 alter it has been released and.- arrested, as comes in contact with the stop 80' at .B above described.

Inuthe Remington N o. 6 machine such. left-hand limit of motion Of hl16 carriage depends upon the position of an adjustable part carried. by the carriage stop bar 128 which, may be moved out of the path or he arm of tl'iecarriage with which it co-acts by rocking bar 128 in a knownmannerby pushing on a .button 1.29, (Fig. 6) thus permitting furtlmr forward motion of the carriage to a fixed i znit of motion toward the left. (1 will thus be seen that the levers 97, 95, 90-and 86, the link 98, and the pivoted spring pressed dog 29, provide means for releasing the carriage from the control of its esca cment, to permit of the forward motion of t e carriage under the influence of its driving-spring, and that-it is thus possible to, dispense altogether with the release-lever 46 pivoted on the carriage. As when tabulating it is oftennecessary to skip one or morecolumns when writing a line, it is a convenience to be able to release the carriage by the manipulation of thesame fingerpiece 100 that must immediately afterwards as manipulated to correctly position the carriage. It is'obvious, however, that the notch 113 may, if desired, be omitted from the index'plate 108, so that the carriage cannot be releasedby the finger-piece 106 independentlyof the remaining tabulating devices. 1 The shaft and the bar 69 are parallel with 'the track rods 5 and (ifor thecarriage, and so are. parallel with the paths of the carr'iage and of the arm 81.
